REE Automotive’s modular REEcorners enable unprecedented flexibility in EV design
Taking the EV skateboard chassis to another level Q&A with Dr. Peter Dow, REE Automotive’s VP of Engineering. To a large extent, vehicles are designed around their propulsion systems. The first generation of modern EVs shoehorned an electric motor and a battery into a vehicle that was designed around an engine, a transmission and a… Read more »
High voltage contactors to optimize EV safety and efficiency (Webinar)
High-Voltage Contactors (HVCs) are critical for ensuring safe and efficient power switch disconnection in electric vehicles (EVs). Integral to Battery Disconnect Units / BDU, HVCs safeguard against potential hazards by disconnecting batteries during fault conditions, while also maintaining stability and safety during load variations and energy redistribution. Join this webinar at next week’s Virtual Conference… Read more »
2025 Volvo EX90: the all-electric 3-row crossover you’d expect, plus edgy tech
The 2025 Volvo EX90 three-row electric SUV has been a long time coming. First unveiled in Sweden back in November 2022, its production at a new plant in Charleston, South Carolina, was delayed for many months to resolve software issues. The EX90 entered production there in June 2024 for North American and European markets. (The… Read more »
